12th Cycle Dedication

ERCHIN 14 - Two weeks of study material have been dedicated by Mrs. Estanne Abraham Fawer to honor the twelfth Yahrzeit of her father, Rav Mordechai ben Eliezer Zvi (Rabbi Morton Weiner) Z'L, who passed away on 18 Teves 5760. May the merit of supporting and advancing Dafyomi study -- which was so important to him -- during the weeks of his Yahrzeit serve as an Iluy for his Neshamah.

TOSFOS DH B'OVEID-KOCHAVIM LO MISHKACHAS

úåñ' ã"ä áòåáã ëåëáéí ìà îùëçú

(Summary: Tosfos explains why and elaborates.)

îùåí ãìàå áðé àçåæä ðéðäå.

(a)

Reason: Because they are not eligible to inherit.

åàò"â ãàîøéðï (÷ãåùéï ãó éæ:) 'òåáã ëåëáéí éåøù àáéå ãáø úåøä...

(b)

Implied Question: And even though the Gemara says in Kidushin (Daf 17b) 'A Nochri inherits his father min ha'Torah ...

î"î ìà äéä ìäí àçåæä áàøõ.

1.

Answer: Nevertheless, they dod not own land in Eretz Yisrael.

åãéï æä ìà ùééê ëé àí áà"é, ãîöåä äéà äúìåéä áàøõ, åòåáã ëåëáéí àéï ìå ðçìä áàøõ.

2.

Answer (cont,): And the current Halachah is confined to Eretz Yisrael, since it is a Mitzvah that is connected with the land, and a Nochri does not own land in Eretz Yisrael.

TOSFOS DH HIKDISH SHELOSHAH ILANOS MI'MATA ASARAH L'BEIS SA'AH

úåñ' ã"ä ä÷ãéù ùìùä àéìðåú îîèò òùøä ìáéú ñàä

(Summary: Tosfos clarifies the case.)

åäðê àéìðåú áðèéòåú àééøé ...

(a)

Clarification: The trees mentioned here are saplings ...

ãàéìå âãåìéí, áùìùä [àéìðåú] ìáéú ñàä ñâé.

1.

Reason: Because if they were fully-grown trees, three trees per Beis Sa'ah would suffice.

TOSFOS DH PACHOS MI'KA'AN O YESER AL KEIN LO HIKDISH ES HA'KARKA'OS

úåñ' ã"ä ôçåú îëàï àå éúø òì ëï ìà ä÷ãéù àú ä÷ø÷òåú

(Summary: Tosfos reconciles this with the Sugya in Bava Basra and elaborates.)

îîèò òùøä ìáéú ñàä îâéò ìëì àéìï åàéìï ø"ð àîåú.

(a)

Clarification: If one plants ten trees in a Beis Sa'ah, each tree has two and hundred and fifty Amos (See Avodah Berurah).

åúéîä, ãáôø÷ äîåëø [àú] äñôéðä (á"á ãó ôá.) úðéà 'ä÷åðä ùìùä àéìðåú åäí îç' àîåú òã è"æ, ÷ðä úçúéäï åáéðéäï åöéãéäï ëîìà àåøä åñìå ...

(b)

Question: In Perek has'Mocher es ha'Sefinah (Bava Basra, Daf 82a), the Beraisa states that 'Someone who purchases three trees which are between eight and sixteen Amos apart acquires underneath them, between them and at their side the space for the picker and his basket' ...

àìîà ìà çùáéðï ìäå ëøöåôéï, ëùàéï áéï æä ìæä ëé àí ç' àîåú òì ç' àîåú áøéáåò- ãäééðå ñ"ã àîåú ìëì àçã, åàéú ìéä ÷ø÷ò áäëé ...

1.

Question (cont.): From which we see that they are not reckoned too close as long as there is a distance of not more than eight Amos square - which is sixty-four square Amos, and he receives land together with it ...

åäëà àîøé' ãôçåú îø"ð àîåú, ìà ä÷ãéù ä÷ø÷ò?

2.

Question (concl.): Whereas here, the Gemara says that less than two hundred and fifty Amos, one has not been Makdish the ground?

åàåø"é, ãéù çéìå÷ áéï îåëø ìî÷ãéù -áîåëø ìà áòéðï ëåìé äàé.

(c)

Answer: The Ri draws a distinction between selling and declaring Hekdesh - inasmuch as a sale requires less land (See Avodah Berurah).

îéäå úéîä, ãäëà àîøé' ãéúø òì ëï, àéï ìå ÷ø÷ò, åâáé îåëø àîøé' òã è"æ àîåú òì è"æ àîåú- ãäééðå øð"å, åìà çùáéðï ìäå ëîôåæøéí éåúø îãàé, åéù ìäå ÷ø÷ò?

(d)

Question: Here the Gemara says that 'more than that, he does not receive land, whereas regarding a sale the Gemara rules that up to sixteen Amos by sixteen Amos - two hundred and fifty six square Amos, and it is not considered too scattered, and they have land (See Avodah Berurah)?

åö"ì ãäðé è"æ àîåú ãâáé îëéøä îééøé áòéâåìà, åäøéáåò éúø òì äòéâåì øáéò...

(e)

Answer: We will have to explain that the sixteen Amos in the case of Mechirah is speaking by a circle, whereas a square is a quarter more than a circle ...

ðîöà ãâáé îëéøä ìà áòéðï ëåìé äàé ëîå î÷ãéù.

1.

Answer (cont.): It therefore turns out that a sale does not require as much land as in the case of Makdish (See Avodah Berurah.

åä÷ùä øáéðå ùîåàì áááà áúøà îäà ãúðéà áúåñôúà ãàéï çéìå÷ áéï îåëø ìî÷ãéù ìãéï æä ì÷ðåú ÷ø÷ò?

(f)

Question: Rabeinu Shmuel asks in Bava Basra from the Tosefta which states that there is no difference between MOcher and Makdish with regard to the current Din of purchasing land?

åúéøõ ãúðàé äéà.

(g)

Answer: And he answers that it is a Machlokes Tana'im.

îéäå úéîä, ãø' ùîòåï àéú ìéä äúí ãç' àîåú áéï æä ìæä ìà çùéá øöåôéï- àó ìòðéï ä÷ãù...

(h)

Question: The question remains however, that Rebbi Shimon there holds that eight Amos between one tree and the other is not considered scattered - even regarding Hekdesh ...

åáøééúà ãäëà 'áîèò òùøä ìáéú ñàä' îå÷é ìä äëà áñîåê ëø' ùîòåï?

1.

Question (cont.): And the Gemara here will shortly establish the Beraisa of ' 'Mata Asarah le'Beis Sa'ah' like Rebbi Shimon?

åé"ì, ãìà îå÷é ëø' ùîòåï ë"à îãéï ã'î÷ãéù áòéï øòä î÷ãéù,' àáì îãéï ùéòåø ðèéòú äàéìðåú ìà äåé ëø' ùîòåï.

(i)

Answer: The Gemara only establishes it like Rebbi Shimon regarding the Din of 'Someone who is Makdish, does so with an Ayin Ra'ah (stingily)', but as far as the Shi'ur of planting trees is concerned, it does not go like Rebbi Shimon.

(a)

Question: Rabeinu Elchanan asks why they do not learn a Gezeirah Shavah from them? Granted we cannot learn a Binyan Av, but why not a Gezeirah Shavah?

åðøàä ìø', îãàéöèøéê ìîéëúá "çåîù" âáé î÷ãéù ùãä àçåæä åâáé î÷ãéù àú áéúå, åîöéðå ìîéìó çã îçáøéä áâ"ù åìà éìôéðï ...

(b)

Answer: 'Rebbi' answers that since the Torah sees fit to mention "Chomesh" by both Makdish one's Sadeh Achuzah and Makdish one's house, and it did not rely on a Gezeirah Shavah even though it could have...

àìà ëúá "çåîù" ìëì çã åçã...

(c)

Answer (cont.): And it opted to write "Chomesh" by each one independently ...

ù"î ùðé ëúåáéï äáàéí ëàçã, åìà éìôéðï îéðééäå áòìîà -àôéìå áâ"ù.

1.

Answer (concl.): This is a proof that that they are 'Two Pesukim that come to teach us the same thing, and we cannot apply it elsewhere - even via a Gezeirah Shavah.

à'ñéôà ãñéôà ÷àé -ã÷úðé 'çáì áæä åáæä, îùìí ðæ÷ ùìí' .

(a)

Authentic Explanation: It refers to the Seifa of the Seifa - 'If it wounded both of them, it pays full damages'.

àáì ìà îöé ìîéîø ã÷àé à'äîéú äòáã' åìà à'äîéú áï çåøéï' ...

(b)

Refuted Explanation: It cannot however refer to 'If it damaged an Eved' or 'If it killed a free man' ...

ãáäà ìà ôìéâ øáé ò÷éáà -ãúí àéðå îùìí ìà ëåôø åìà ùìùéí ùì òáã...

1.

Refutation: Since Rebbi Akiva does not argue with the ruling that a Tam pays neither Kofer nor the thirty Sela'imn of an Eved' ...

ëãàéúà áá"÷ áô' ùåø ùðâç ã' åä' (ãó îá:).

éù úéîä ÷öú, ãáîùðä úðé 'àçã äâãåìä ùáëäåðä, åàçã ä÷èðä ùáéùøàì ðåúï çîùéí' ...

(a)

Question: It is somewhat surprising that whereas the Mishnah states "Echad ha'Gedolah she'bi'Kehunah, ve'Echad ha'Ketanah she'be'Yisrael, Nosein Chamishim' ...

åîàé ùðà ãäëà îæëéø áâî' 'äâãåìä áú îìëéí' åáîùðä úðà 'âãåìä ùáëäåðä ? '

1.

Question (cont.): Why does the Gemara here mention 'ha'Gedolah bas Melachim', when the Mishnah talked of 'Gedolah she'bi'Kehunah'?
